point the print servers to files, and let the users go insane, especially since the print jobs succeed, but no paper comes out...

Nope, had something similar happen once and it did nothing but drive me insane as many users would not stop hassling me even after I spoke to them and asked them to wait.

It's something I wouldn't advise doing unless you are away from the office but even then I still got calls on my mobile as I was away from my desk.

redirect all calls to the hell desk, set the spam filters to check for the word "print" and have a nice day :)

instruct the hell desk operators- should they manage to keep all users away, there's a decent bottle of scotch per operator. If they can manage it for two days, start doing shots on the third day.

and what happens when you are the Jack of all Trades??? (like I am)

drink the scotch myself? (since I am also the hell desk, tech support, sysadmin, system's architect and network engineer... pick a name, put a hat to it, I'm already wearing it- however, I'm told there are actually shops where there's more than 1 IT person)
